Cleaning Vintage Furniture
I was once told by a very clever man to use vinegar to clean down furniture of dirt and grime. You can see in the photo below the result of a bit of elbow grease and malt vinegar. The only problem is I’m now craving a large bag of chips!
BBC News
Those up early on a Sunday morning may well have spotted me and my shop/studio on BBC Breakfast News, and then on the BBC News Channel during the day on the 4th March. They came down to film a feature about the growing trend for Pop-ups and what a wonderful opportunity they offer to small businesses. Please follow the below link to view the feature.

Open 25th Feb – 5th March. 38 Monmouth Street, London WC2H 9EP.

Wolf and Badger
One this I particularly love is being given a challenge. And when Josh at Wolf & Badger asked if I could knit some freaky mannequins I jumped at the chance! The pair are in the windows of the Ledbury Road store from the 15th September 2011.

Wolf and Badger Window
We’re always up for a challenge here, so we jumped at the chance when Wolf & Badger asked us to design a knit themed window display for their Notting Hill store. The only clue we can give you is that we’ve been knitting 50m of fingers!
The final result will be unveiled on the 15th September.
